Goggles: The Google Maps Flight Sim,http://www.isoma.net/games/goggles.html - Web-based, but incredibly slow at pre-loading. May not work at all in China. It is really a flight simulator and only loosely tied to economics, anyway. The other three games are much more appropriate for this topic.
As a Quest write up, please try all of the games, then for 2 write the name, description and how it is played for each. Finally, tell how the game might be useful in helping students learn - all for up to 5XP. Quest Title: "Economics Games"
